(Tom Quinn, US 2008, 85 min., Digital Projection)
When their parents separate, 16-year-old Kat (Jennifer Welsh, in a breakthrough performance) withdraws into herself while her older brother Jack (Greg Lyons) is forced to mediate between parents and carry the family finances. A moving and unique look at how divorce can affect young people, this award-winning independent film is set against the backdrop of Philadelphia’s Mummers Parade, an annual New Year’s Day tradition where neighborhood musicians compete for prizes wearing outlandishly designed costumes. Mixing documentary footage and a fictiona story, Thf New Year Patade is a truly fresh experience. Writer-director Tom Quinn will introduce and answer questions in a post-screening discussion.
